- button frames with large and small buttons are available
Button Snake
A fun variation on the button frame is a button snake or felt snake. You will need a ribbon with a button sewn at one end, and squares of felt with button holes cut to match the size of the button. The button is pushed through the hole in a felt square, and then you slide the square down the ribbon.
- You can sew a button at one end and glue a felt square near the other end:
